Pattern #8 - V-Stitch Scarf

Materials:

  • 2 skeins of your favorite yarn
  • crochet hook to match the weight of your yarn

Gauge: n/a

Special stitches:

  • V-stitch = (dc, ch 1, dc) in designated stitch
  • Chain 3 = first dc of next row

Instructions:

This pattern can be worked in any yarn you like. The finer the yarn, the softer the resulting fabric, and the more drape you'll have. You can also work it to any dimensions you like. I went with about 8" wide, and 70" long (I like long scarves, and we are a family of tall people).

  1. Make a chain of multiple of 2, plus 1 stitch. If you prefer a foundation row to start, make a foundation single crochet row of an even number of stitches, and about 8" long, then chain 3 and skip to step 3.
  2. Single crochet in 2nd chain from hook, then each chain across; chain 3 and turn.
  3. Skip first 2 sc (beginning chain counts as first dc, then skip another stitch) and make a V-stitch. *Skip one stitch, V-stitch; repeat from * to last two stitches. Make a dc in the last stitch; chain 3 and turn.
  4. Repeat step 3 for the length desired. When you are ready to end, finish with a ch-1 and turn.
  5. Last row: sc in first dc, skip next dc, sc in ch-1 space, * skip next 2 dc, sc in ch-1 space; repeat to last V-stitch, sc in last dc. You should end up with one less sc than the number you started with on the first row. If you like, you can add it somewhere in the middle of the row, or you can leave it as is.
  6. (Optional) If desired, you can add a fringe to both ends.
I worked my scarf in two colors, and changed colors after 7 rows of V-stitch because it looked like square-shaped blocks. Feel free to follow your own preference regarding colors.

Work Log - 23 October, Monday

Spinning Washed the second bucket of Jacob fleece and filmed a reel. Finished spinning the another ply for the yarn for my poncho project . Attempted to film a reel while spinning the 2nd ply, but the app ate the draft, so I have to start over tomorrow. Wound the first skein into a ball. Wound up the 3rd skein into a ball for the kids' hat project . Crocheting Finished the second scarf for the SU scarf project . Just have to weave in ends and finish patterns. Started a hat with the left over yarn, but I don't like it, so I'll probably just put up the rest of the yarn for another day. Social Media Really struggled with trying to get posts onto both Facebook and Intagram at the same time. Have decided to post to Instagram first, because it will automatically post to Facebook, as well. It is supposed to work the other way, too, but it is not working that way.

Tatting by Mlle. Riego - Week 1

 So, I had this great idea that I would work through some vintage tatting pattern books and blog about it. Maybe even write a book with updated patterns. I don't know if I just happened to pick the hardest book to start with or they were just so much smarter in the mid-1800s, but this week was an epic fail. I was complaining to my daughter when she suggested that I write about my fails, as well as my successes. So here goes. The premise The book is "The Tatting Book" by Mlle. Riego, published in 1850. I found it at the Antique Pattern Library , and Google Books . It seems to be her first book on tatting. Her preface states that tatting individual pieces, then sewing them together as it had been done in the past, is currently making a revival in France under the name "frivolite". She didn't feel this method of work was practical for the "English lady", so she wanted to create a new method of work that would be suitable for English workers. She sets ...
